Health behaviors are inextricably linked to health and well-being, yet issues such as physical inactivity and insufficient sleep remain significant global public health problems. Mobile technology—and the unprecedented scope and quantity of data it generates—has a promising but largely untapped potential to promote health behaviors at the individual and population levels. This perspective article provides multidisciplinary recommendations on the design and use of mobile technology, and the concomitant wealth of data, to promote behaviors that support overall health. Using physical activity as anexemplar health behavior, we review emerging strategies for health behavior change interventions. We describe progress on personalizing interventions to an individual and their social, cultural, and built environments, as well as on evaluating relationships between mobile technology data and health to establish evidence-based guidelines. In reviewing these strategies and highlighting directions for future research, we advance the use of theory-based, personalized, and human-centered approaches in promoting health behaviors.

利用移动技术促进公共卫生：多学科视角

健康行为与健康和福祉有着千丝万缕的联系，但身体活动不足和睡眠不足等问题仍然是重大的全球公共卫生问题。移动技术及其生成的数据范围和数量前所未有，在促进个人和人口层面的健康行为方面具有广阔的前景，但在很大程度上尚未开发。这篇观点文章提供了有关移动技术的设计和使用以及随之而来的丰富数据的多学科建议，以促进支持整体健康的行为。我们以身体活动作为健康行为的范例，回顾了健康行为改变干预措施的新兴策略。我们描述了对个人及其社会、文化和建筑环境进行个性化干预的进展，以及评估移动技术数据与健康之间的关系以建立循证指南的进展。在回顾这些策略并强调未来研究方向时，我们推进使用基于理论、个性化和以人为本的方法来促进健康行为。
